Don't waste time with the Florida Legislature

You want us to write or call our legislators in Tallahassee? You want us to plead with them to amend or rescind the state's self-defense laws? You think they'll do something the NRA would oppose?

Please. Don't waste my time.

Those people up there are interested in only one thing — their own political fortunes. The gun industry and the NRA own this bunch of political and moral cowards. How many Trayvon Martins die is not important to them. Trayvon would not have voted for them, anyway.

I am convinced if Congress had repealed the Second Amendment at the time the Continental Army became an effective fighting force back in the 18th century, the millions of Trayvon Martins who have died from needless gun violence in this country would be alive today.
